Yesterday I attended the Obon Festival in Vista, CA with my friends. The Urban Sketchers were there in force drawing the sights. I have a fab short film to show you but the google gods wouldn't let me add it....or it's just that I don't know what I'm doing.....I'll try and add it to FB...

These are quick gesture drawings with a brown Tombow pen.

I added water to make the pen lines flow and a bit of watercolor.

Here you can see the effect just from the Tombow pen with water added.

Saturday, July 20- Deconstructed Paste Papers a very fun, filled to the brim day of painting, stenciling, pattern making, deconstructing to create patina....creating incredible papers for collage and designs.
